Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn part ways after 6 years, what went wrong?

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn shocked the world as they called it quits after six years of dating.

The popular stars, who were first spotted together in 2016, have worked hard to keep their romance private over the years.

Swift and Joe left millions of fans in shock following their split. Take a look at their relationship timeline.

Swift spoke about her relationship with Joe via her music including the former pair's collaborations on 2020 album Folklore and its sister album Evermore.

At the beginning of the couple's love story, the Anti-Hero singer was taking time out of the spotlight.

During that period of her life, the Grammy winner was creating her sixth studio album, Reputation, which addressed negative headlines about her over the years. For the first few months of their relationship, Swift and Alwyn were able to keep their romance under wraps.

Their relationship was only revealed to the world in May 2017, meaning they had a good period of time where they were able to get to know each other, without the media attention.
